A few days ago, news broke that pop star Ayumi Hamasaki had married Manuel Schwarz, an Austrian actor. It’s been a top story on the TV news broadcasts ever since, with the press following their every move:

Japanese pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki married U.S-based Austrian actor Manuel Schwarz on Saturday in a church ceremony in the United States, her office said Sunday.

Hamasaki, 32, and Schwarz, 30, met last August in Los Angeles when she made a promotional video for her song “Virgin Road,” in which he played her bridegroom, the office said earlier.
